How To Annoy People

“This is New York and there is no law against being annoying!” said William Kunstler. So true! There is no law all around the world against being annoying! And thank god for that. For rest assured, at least once in our lifetime, we have all had our share of annoying incidences. Hearing someone chew gum noisily is annoying, but that of the younger brother changing the TV channel every 2 seconds wins hands down in any annoying Olympics. And what can be said about people simply disagreeing to every statement of yours without even listening? All this can be utterly annoying. But, you don’t have to grin and bear it. Beat them at their own game. The art of annoying someone on purpose is obviously more fun than doing it unconsciously. It doesn’t take too much to annoy someone who annoys you or do it to someone just for fun. It is as easy as copying any action of someone. When it begins, the person you are imitating would not realize and as it progress, it gets more and more irritating. Follow a few of the following suggestions and see the other person get as annoyed while you have the last laugh.
